One detail from the day: the title makes this sound like a lot of ground to cover. In practice, the cycling section and Shanghai and Suzhou felt like two distinct parts of the trip, not the same day repeated.

Jin K.🇯🇵 Japan★★★★★2025-12

The meeting instructions were clear and we knew what came next without being herded around. In Shanghai and Suzhou, that saved a surprising amount of energy. With 9 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.

Wendy V.🇮🇪 Ireland★★★★☆2026-01

A practical note: one stop was more crowded than the others. The quieter time around the cycling section balanced it out.

Joanna C.🇲🇽 Mexico★★★★★2024-06

In hindsight, the route made more sense once we were on it. Time at Shanghai and Suzhou set the pace, while the cycling section gave us a reason to slow down.
